Agreed. For an article that provided so little view of the other side, and seemed to be on the landlord's side entirely, the fact that a huge red flag like that would slip through is, well, a red flag. If a landlord ever said something like that to me, I'd tell them to go live at a relative's house while I stayed at their place!

I agree that the article is hardly fair and unbiased. Aside from the women's boiler needing extensive repairs, the article claims that there were "other repairs needed" which could be really anything. Of course that is the only property of his they talked about. Who knows what the other issues where.

In the end... it's just click grabbing. Painting the situation as an overbearing, corrupt city government demolishing folks homes is sure to grab more eyeballs.
